Hood Mounting Instructions
Hanging the Hood with Back Supply Plenum
Before hanging the hood according to the hood
installation instructions, please check the following:
1. Make sure the back supply unit is properly
secured, as described in steps 5 and 6, page 8.
2. Any filler panels should be attached to the hood
before the hood installation.
To hang the hood:
1. Lift the hood and position it so the top of the
hood is even with the back supply (Fig. 13). This
height should correspond to the UL hanging
height of the hood.
2. After the hood is hung from the ceiling, a hood
mounting flange may be fastened to the back
supply using sheet metal screws (by others).
Pilot holes are recommended.
3. Connect the remaining ductwork for the back
supply and the hood. Caulk all mating seams
and surfaces of the back supply, the hood, and
the wall.
